Boiled Carrots - How To

Printed from: www.grandmotherskitchen.net

Ingredients

Serves: 4

6-8 fresh carrots (depending on size)

1 teaspoon salt for the boiling water

Directions

1. Wash the carrots and cut off the ends. If the carrots are old and have tough bitter skins, peel the skins off.

2. Slice the carrots, you can cut with a straight knife or use a zig-zag cutter to make them a little fancier and more fun to look at on the plate.

3. Put just enough water into the saucepan to cover the carrots.

4. Bring the water to a boil. Add one teaspoon salt to the water.

5. Place the carrots into the boiling water and cover with a lid.

6. Let boil for about 5 minutes. Test with a fork to see if done. If you can easily spear the carrot it is cooked. Don’t overcook as mushy carrots are not nearly as appealing.

7. Drain the water from the carrots in with a colander or sieve and transfer the carrots to a serving dish.

ENJOY!
